Summary:

In this study and discussion on predicting the response of powder metallurgy steels to heat treatment, FL-4065 PM alloy was modeled to predict dimensional change, distortion, and residual stress.

How was DANTE Used?:

A modified version of DANTE coupled with ABAQUS was used to create a model for the purpose of this study.
